What do You think about Return To Groosham Grange (2015)?
David Eliot returns to Groosham Grange to further master his magical skills. Groosham Grange is a school for the seventh children of the seventh children born with magical powers, teaching them how to use these powers in the outside world. David in his second year at Groosham is a candidate to win the Unholy Grail, awarded only to the highest achiever of the school. New Student Vincent King is following closely behind David, but a series of events has suspiciously caused Vincent to win the Unholy Grail. With mounting mistrust, David snoops around Vincent and found incriminating letters that foretell the destruction of the school. Before David could reveal Vincent's betrayal, the destruction has already began, and that the traitor used David's family to carry out his evil plans.I enjoyed this story more than the first of the series. It helps that David and the school are no longer strangers, but familiar characters and settings, which makes it easier to just jump right into the story without getting lost. There is the usual humor here, hilariously provided by David's parents and Aunt Mildred. There's also more of the light suspense and action. It's definitely better than the first.

A sequel to Groosham Grange, this story finds young wizard David acclimated to this school that bears a strong resemblance to Hogwarts. Even the competition for the Unholy Grail will strike Harry Potter fans as a familiar storyline. But David has more than one reason for wanting to win the academic prize. If anyone takes the grail into the shadows at Canterbury Cathedral, Groosham Grange, along with its inhabitants, will disappear forever. David suspects Vincent, a new and bright student, of having subversive goals. So he makes it his business to save the school.
